Description: FREE HAND SHARPENING SERVICE, PLEASE READ FOR DETAILS! Up for sale is a Takamura R2/SG2 Migaki 180mm Gyuto. Gyuto are general purpose kitchen knives like their Western counterparts, upon which their origins are based. This is a great size for home or professional use, being very light (for a Western handled blade), compact and easy to use. Takamura is known for producing beautifully made knives, using some of the most advanced steels available on the market. Their high-grade fit and finish is well known, and especially outstanding at this price range. The 180mm Takamura R2/SG2 Migaki Gyuto is laser thin, nicely balanced, and razor-sharp right out of the box. Rounding out the package is the now famous red laminate Western handle with stainless bolster. The combination of these features makes these knives a joy to hold and use, and along with the excellent Takamura grind, gives them a very high level of performance. The R2/SG2 high speed powdered steel core takes an extremely keen edge and keeps it for a very long time. It is also very stain resistant and wrapped in a softer stainless-steel cladding for toughness. As opposed to some other exotic steels, R2/SG2 is also not too hard to maintain sharpness on or sharpen.

Most Japanese hand finished knives may have some minor scratches, dings, or imperfection on the blade or handle. This is normal and not out of the ordinary. Boxes may have scratches, dings, perforations, etc. when shipped to me. If anything outside normal is seen as far as imperfections go (Sabi-Wabi), I will put a note at the top of the item description. Pictures are of the exact model of knife, but not the individual knife for sale. Please look at the photos carefully, as they are part of the item description. There will be slight variation in handle color/pattern, etc. It is no longer practical for me to list every knife in my inventory individually, but if requested, I'll try to send more specific pictures of an example before shipping out. I will package the knifes to the best of my abilities and ship them out within 1-2 days after payment is received. Please do not hesitate to contact me with inquiries!
